FAQ

Common questions.

Will the person know I searched for them?

No. Who This does not notify the person you are researching. Your activity is associated with your account rather than published as a public lookup page.

How is my uploaded photo used?

Your selected photo is prepared in your browser, then uploaded after you sign in so FaceTrace can run the image search. It stays associated with that authenticated search for results and history.

Which sources does Who This cover?

Coverage depends on the current upstream search and the public information available for that person. The source labels on this page illustrate categories used by the experience; availability varies from search to search.

Are my results public?

Search access is tied to your account. Who This does not publish a public page about the person you search for, and the product is intended for personal safety and identity verification.

Can I use Who This for screening decisions?

No. Who This is designed for personal verification, not employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other regulated eligibility decisions.

How do plans and support work?

Available plans and secure checkout appear after the guided onboarding flow. Billing and access support is provided through the links included with your payment confirmation.
